Our Heritage
A Century of Craft
Our story began over a century ago on the sun-drenched hills of central Greece, where our great-grandfather Alexandros first cultivated the olive groves that we still harvest today.
He believed that the perfect olive was a gift from the sun — a small vessel of flavour nurtured by the land and harvested with respect. This profound philosophy has guided every generation since.
Today at Helia Olives, we honour that legacy by blending age-old traditions with modern, sustainable practices to bring an authentic Grecian taste to kitchens in over 30 countries.
Our Journey
Alexandros Helios plants the first grove on the slopes above Amfissa, establishing the family tradition of premium table olives.
The second generation expands into Volos, adding the iconic green varieties that win their first regional gold award.
Partnership forged with cooperatives on the island of Thassos, securing supply of the rare Throuba variety.
State-of-the-art processing facility opens, achieving ISO 22000 food safety certification in its first year of operation.
All three varieties receive EU PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, cementing their provenance credentials globally.
Centenary celebrations — solar-powered facility, carbon-neutral logistics programme, and active export to 34 countries.
